Order Logistics Announces Logistics Information System General Release





Expected to significantly improve supply chain execution between suppliers, shippers and carriers.

URBANA,IL (PRWEB) December 9, 2005 -- Order Logistics, Inc., a leading provider of real-time, supply chain solutions, has announced general availability of the Logistics Information System, a collaborative supply chain gateway and execution tool for mid sized manufacturing and distribution companies. The web based Logistics Information System is an easy to deploy and easy to use execution tool that provides a communication gateway to all company supply chain partners. Brian Griffin, President of Order Logistics reports “that the mid market has been clamoring for affordable and easy to use supply chain execution tools to help them reduce operating costs, improve productivity and customer service to help them compete globally or against major competitors domestically. We have listened to the needs of this market and have found this segment in need of an affordable and flexible execution tool to collaborate with existing ERP systems or integrate with their supply chain partner’s systems within their supply chain environment.”

The Logistics Information System facilitates the collaboration of orders, order confirmations and resulting shipments between suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and carriers. “What is different about our product is that we truly start with the order detail first”, says Paul McCreary, EVP of Business Solutions. “There are many high end execution tools that begin with the shipment detail and work down to order detail. Our approach has been to start with the order release and roll up into shipments. This feature truly puts supply chain visibility at the lowest possible level. If we can track the order level detail, tracking the shipment detail is easy, with enriched data.”

Comments Brian Malec, Chief Information Officer “the license and maintenance costs of logistics systems have increased past the functional ability of the mid market user. Given the competitive environment of most industries and our pledge to always provide the best value and rapid ROI to our customers, we built a base platform to about 70% of common supply chain functionality. The remaining 30% is customer specific customization that offers increased customer specificity and lower cost of implementation. Furthermore, by providing a single tool across our suite of supply chain solutions, our customers will have improved cross-functional visibility and information on which to make decisions.”

With embedded features that include on line order release, on line order confirmation, order aggregation, load building, load tender, freight payment, vendor payment and robust track and trace capabilities that place all shipment visibility on a single web portal, the Logistics Information System truly integrates supply chain visibility, cost data and information.

Customers have already benefited from deploying the Logistics Information System. A major manufacturer of lawn and garden equipment recently committed to deploying the Logistics Information System to facilitate their lean manufacturing initiative. A disciplined supplier release and visibility to parts in transit was a key to their success. The Logistics Information System is transforming its culture into an “e-culture,” creating a Web-enabled desktop supply chain infrastructure that will allow all users to view and share real time data.
